DRESS TRIMMINGS.


jet to Nemain the Leading Garniturc-
Rich New Passcmcnteries.
Until some trimming can be found
that will be equally effective, econom-
ical and capable of being applied to
such an endless variety of uses, jet
will probably remain the leading gar
niturc; and it is safe to predict that
those who invest largely in jet trim
mings this season, even the most cx-
pensive qualities, will be sure to get
their moneys worth out of them, and
be able, possibly, to utilize them for
various purposes before they will be
considered paSse.
The majority of the beads are small
and very finely cut, and placed closely
together so as to produce solid effect,
which is varied in the newest designs
by the introduction of what might be
termed "lace" effects, although jet is
the only material used. Thus, the
inner part of the motif that has solid
edge may be made entirely of rather
large mcshes formed of strung beads,
Dr, if the design be floral, the strands
are used to stimulate the veins, or form
the inside of the petals.
Another noticeable feature is the al
most universal use of very deep fringe
or long pendants as completion to
the motifs, cpaulets, plastrons, collars,
plaques, quilies, and many of the pas
scmcntcries that are to be used for
special purposes.
The popular an effective "sets' in
jet sometimes comprise panel for the
skirt, collar, epaulcts, V or plastron,
and trimming for the sleeves that can
also be utilized for pockets on basque,
if preferred. Less elaborate sets in
cludc only collar, plastron, and
sleeve trimmings, and there are others
that have n pointed piece, or plaque,
reaching the entire length of the back
and finished with pendants, which is
made in the same piece with collar,
epaulets, and V for the front. This
style is suitable either for n mantle or
basque, and can be so arranged that
it can be detached from one and used
on the other as necessity may demand.

in galloon style, that is with straight
edges. and there are some with picot
edges, and geometrical designs in solid
beads down the center on a ground
work of open meshes. Another style
is sort of buckle pattern, or oblong
pieces of the shape and about two
thirds the size of postal card, that can
be used continuously, or detached and
placed diagonally at intervals, or an
ranged in various effective ways, the
same rs the passementeries that are
made of separate motifs and finished
with pendants on one edge. Another
style has one edge straight, and the
other describing points or leaves; but
the insertion, or galloon, designs are
ut present most popular.
Very rich passementeriOs are made
entirely of satin and Grape cord, either
together or separately, and are a relief
from the glitter of jet. These come in
black, and are made to order to match
coiorcd materials. Passemcnterics
made of colorcd beads, in heliotrope,

combinations, are provided for garnish-
ing rich fabrics in colors, and for the
same purpose there are very rich passc-
mentcrics made of colored beads inter
mixed with metal cords of all colors.
For trimming wooden materials there
are nouncings, panels, vests, collars
and cuffs made in mohair braid and
iilet-work, of the same general style of
those of last season, but in new pat
terms, that can be obtained in black
and the leading fashionable colors, and
are made to order for special shades.
Gallons and trimmings made with one
straight and one irregular edge, or
both edges irregular, are shown in the
same style. Most of them arc in solid
color, but there are some very hand
some ones in two-tone effects. These
garnitures are employed on goods OF
the same color or Il contrasting color.
Black Is used on all colorh and there
are some pretty effects produced by ths
use OF red on blue, green on red gold or
